Bad Request (Invalid Hostname)

Hello to everybody,

Bad Request (Invalid Hostname) error have been discussed for a lot of
time in the groups already. I have read all of them and have tried
everything what's been described. But the error continues appearing.

My configuration: Server 2003, IIS 6.0

I start Internet Explorer on the same machine where IIS is installed.
The Bad Request (Invalid Hostname) error appears any time I try to
address any of the web sites.

The properties of the Default Web site: All Unussigned (IP)
The WFetch produces the following output with default settings:
started....WWWConnect::Connect("localhost","80")\nIP =
"127.0.0.1:80"\nsource port: 1130\r\n
REQUEST: **************\nGET HTTP/1.1\r\n
Host: localhost\r\n
Accept: */*\r\n
\r\n
RESPONSE: **************\nHTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request\r\n
Content-Type: text/html\r\n
Date: Fri, 25 Aug 2006 09:31:27 GMT\r\n
Connection: close\r\n
Content-Length: 34\r\n
\r\n
<h1>Bad Request (Invalid
URL)</h1>WWWConnect::Close("localhost","80")\nclosed source port:
1130\r\n
finished.

WHAT can I do to diagnose the error further? Thanks for your comments
in advance.

Hello,

The response you got when using wfetch was:

Bad Request (Invalid URL)

This was exactly what was expected, because the GET looked like (what you
typed):

GET HTTP/1.1\r\n

This is invalid. It should have looked like:

GET / HTTP/1.1\r\n

A path is necessary. So at this moment, nothing is wrong, everything is
working as expected.

You are truly sending a bad request to IIS, so the error is expected.

GET HTTP/1.1\r\n
Host: localhost\r\n
Accept: */*\r\n
\r\n


It should look like:
GET "something" HTTP/1.1

Where "something" should look like:
/proper/URL/and/resource.extension
